If you are not a doctor, I hope that you will also tell people in your posts:
"I am not a doctor, or any sort of trained medical professional, and I
have no idea what I'm talking about, even when it sounds like I do." If
everyone that is not a doctor posted such a statement after their
advice--none of the patients would ever be confused. In addition, unless
we have lots of wonderful doctors and nurses that subscribe to this
newsgroup--not very many people will ever get any advice from anyone.

NEWSGROUP SUBSCRIBERS MOTTO
We respect those subscribers that ask for advice or provide advice.
We do NOT respect the subscribers that enjoy criticizing people.
